Wale’s anticipated mixtape “ More About Nothing ” is supposed to drop August 3 and I must say he has been doing a hell of a job for promoting it. Snippets of songs everyday, and much social network usage (via, facebook and twitter) . This week the trending topic for twitter was this song Ambitious girl where Wale expresses his “poetic” side on the mic. My first thought: different Approach but I like it. At first It bored me because Im not a big fan of his voice so beats gives him justice, but the lyrical content of his verses are mosdef ON POINT. Im excited about this new mixtape, I’ve liked everything I heard so far. -BrittSense
Sidenote: 2nd Video is another song I like off the mixtape.
Have you seen the movie? If not Im going to advise you to go buy a ticket after reading this post… & yes it is THAT serious. The unexpected sound in each scene is what captured me the most, watch here to see how it’s done. -BrittSense
We posted about the HARD Fest that took place this weekend, I hope some of you viewers were able to attend. Here is a video of Jesse Boykins and Theophilus London performing “Sorry To Interrupt”. I love the song, and the way the video was captured and edited. I have to say, I’m a little jealous that Jesse’s hair bounces like that. -S.L.
The ALL SHOOK DOWN Music Festival took place over the weekend and we can’t say how much fun it was. One headliner included JANELLE MONAE [sigh]. In twenty years, Janelle Monae will remain a classic. She’s great at what she does and for those who haven’t seen her live…her voice sounds just as if your listening to her latest CD: The ArchAndroid. If you haven’t coped it yet…YOU MUST!! The first time I seen this Out The box chick perform was when she opened for, the gorgeous, Erykah Badu almost two months back. Gracing the Bay area again so soon I was happy and in awe to be in her creative world. Her band? Has so much freaking energy!!! The performance from start to finish was GREAT! Down to the keyboardist and people she most likely knew dancing on the side of the stage, the energy was alive. It’s the best when an artist performs your favorite song [two of mines include, 'Faster' and 'Locked inside']. It makes you feel really special. Not missing a note or dancing beat Monae’s petite self wowed those who never heard her music before. She definitely gained more than a few new fans at All Shook Down.Hopefully we will see her soon again. The Music Festival itself was rad and a MUST attendance next year. -Passion
I guess this was a really good idea, it’s a way to preview material from the album as well as making people love the song for the lyrical content as appose to just a radio hit or the production aspect of it. Not to mention I’m sure all of the Facebook employees were super juiced to write on their wall, “Kanye was just here”, which spreads quickly and gets more viewers. It probably spreads quicker than just releasing new material online, not everyone reads blogs but everyone does have a Facebook. Check Out The Other Videos When YouRead the rest of this entry »
